The game has been on a downhill slope for quite sometime but it still has remained fun to play in many aspects. As the fun gets sucked out of the game for many in different playstyles and different aspects of the game we will have dwindling log ins and player base.
Spending levels will follow, i was of the mindset that as long as the game played well people would still spend on acquiring gear, but when the gameplay is so slow with lag freezes and such, those spenders will be gone too.
The new repeater/inquisitor nerfs are going to hit a mass of players that have relied on their fun levels for not months or a few years but more than a decade, those players will likely log less(maybe not at all) and will be so distraught that their spending will stop.
I would hazard to say this game has already entered maintenanc mode, the 64 bit server will fail as there just wont be enough players engaged there to make it worth while as a thought going forward. I have to say it wasnt very smart of SSG to announce the upcoming repeater/inquistive nerf prior to the new cormyr server, they should have suckedus all in first then nailed us to the wall a week or two in, now i wont be going, my boyfriend wont be going and likely a whole group of folks wont be there as well. Even with your goals in mind SSG, the person that decided on your end that this info should be released prior to the server/event will have cost you a lot in value as far as dollars/population/traction, might want to think about a change in staff on that one.
I am not going to quit the game just a lot less of everything, i have already started prepping my servers and alts for when my vip renewal comes up and i will not be renewing. The recent lagginess has been pushing the envelope of being unacceptable, and the apparent upcoming hammer nerf turning repeaters/inquisitive into firing rates equivalent to bows is the nail. In another thread i asked about the rate of fire on live versus test server for these, people didnt even bother to give a shots per minute answer, they just said clunk clunk clunk and its very slow and unplayable.
Enjoy the game as much as you can but dont let it rule your world, if it is giving you less joy play it less often. Dont let your emotions or anger trick you into a “I will show them and beat them attitude”, you will be far happier playing less and letting things go.
